Drinking From The Tap

The City of Santa Ana has a long history of environmental stewardship and commitment to the health and quality of life of its community. Recently, city council adopted a resolution that underscores this commitment by improving access to healthy beverage options and encouraging the use of tap water at all public facilities, venues, and community events.

The City adopted this resolution, recognizing that drinking tap water over bottled water is proven to be more affordable, safer, and better for the environment. You can read about how tap water can save you money and the environment here.
